I just uploaded a new mobile-capable lecture, called “The Design, Function, and Meaning of Bronze Ritual Vessels of the Shang Dynasty in China.” This was a public lecture at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in November of 2016. It is a wide-ranging lecture on ancient Chinese bronzes and includes movie clips and interactive 3D models.<\/p>\n
